The part I’ve been thinking about since then is that, as far as I can remember, my reaction to the whole thing was to repeatedly say “Hello? Um, excuse me?” in a mildly anxious tone and a volume slightly louder than my usual indoor speaking voice, and it strikes me that’s rather inadequate as a distress signal.
This is mostly how I react to scary/dangerous things and why no one takes my distress seriously at all.
